ANÁLISE DA APLICAÇÃO DA NR 18 EM CANTEIROS DE OBRAS EM RIO VERDE - GO

Abstract

Mandatory regulatory standards in order to instruct on the rights and duties related to the safety and health of the worker. The objective of the research was to evaluate the application of safety standards and the difficulty in implementing and complying with Regulatory Norm (NR) nº 18 - Working Conditions and Environment in the Construction Industry, at construction sites in Rio Verde - GO. The investigation addressed the use of personal protective equipment, the presence of living areas, the implementation of risk management plans, work safety and the completion of the work. The development of the work took place through the application of questionnaires for employees and supervisors presented at the construction site of different sizes. The results concluded that small works are the ones that have more difficulties in applying the standard with the low use of Personal Protective Equipment, the lack of admission training when starting as activities and the lack of area of ​​experiences required for the integrity of the worker. These factors are due to low inspection by the executing agencies. In general, it was observed that although the works in the city have a median degree in compliance with the standard, the rate of work accidents analyzed in this research was low.
